Hey all. Just wanted to post this solution. An AAF from Premiere Pro to Logic Pro X is working well for me. There are a few things to note. If you have clip volume levels, they will translate (but there are caveats)! They don’t come to Logic Pro X as clip gain but as automation in the track. Awesome!
You’ll probably need to show the automation and then select “volume” since it may default to “display off”. You should then see levels. If there are no level changes on clips in a given track in premiere, the automation in Logic Pro X should be at 0db.
If you have any audio clips with automation in a track, as I said, those should come across. But… if you have additional clips later in the timeline without any changes, you will not see the automation go back to zero unless you add at least one keyframe on the clip in premiere. Then it will change the automation back to zero. You may need to do this to any clips that don’t have any automation change.
In the second paragraph, I say “probably” and “maybe” because I found a great workaround for a project with a lot of tracks to have the volume automation display come across set to on. So, it’s a weird bug, but if you add a keyframe to a clip after clips with automation in a given track, voila, when you import the AAF into logic and toggle on the automation view, ALL tracks should be already set to volume and display automation changes.
Please feel free to ask questions. I just figured these couple of things out today and was so happy to see that editor audio clip levels can come across and I can work from there. I also have any audio effects coming across burned into the audio with the same audio un-affected as well.
